Stuffed Peppers with Turkey and Rice

Asian Caucasian is all about healthy and flavorful, and these tasty stuffed peppers are no exception! They’re a piece of cake to make! The ground turkey “stuffing” packs a slight punch with Asian spices, jalapeño peppers, and red chili paste. Gotta include healthy kale and brown rice. Top with your favorite herbs, like fresh cilantro. Did I mention it was good for you? 🙂

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a shallow baking dish place bell peppers open side up and place in the oven for 15 minutes until peppers are just soft. Remove from oven and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat canola oil on medium high heat in a large sauté pan. Add garlic, chopped bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, and shallots. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add in the ground turkey and cook until slightly browned. Add in mushrooms and ginger and cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt and stir in brown rice and chopped kale.

In a small sauce pan on another burner, heat coconut milk, red curry paste, and sambal oelek on medium high heat until just boiling. Stir sauce into sauté pan with other ingredients. Sprinkle in cilantro and squeeze of lime juice.

Stuff bell peppers with the mixture and place back in the oven for 25 minutes until the mixture is heated through. Serve immediately.

Notes

Sambal oelek can be found at specialty Asian markets and select grocery stores.
